Using unlimited confidence from the director, the ambitious Gavrilov skillfully uses this for his career purposes. In just four years, he rose from the major to the general, without committing any “heroic deeds.” But he was very well discredited in the eyes of the director a number of honored and combat generals, including Melikov and Charl. It is worth paying attention to what dirty methods were used at the same time: from the stuffing of frankly implausible information through the media and before the formation of an opinion about the impending conspiracy to shift Zolotov. Officers acquaintances in the service with Melikov and Charc, with irony perceived such absurd statements. Everyone understands that you need to be a complete idiot in order to compete with a person close to the president. However, given the trusting of the director and the giftedness of Gavrilov, he succeeded in given these facts, Melikov and Chenchik, as decent generals, resigned. Together with them the report was written by more than 40 honored managers and generals.
